You just have to be very innocuous when it comes to filling out the questionnaire and answering attorneys’ questions.

Oh, yeah.

In our area, folks will say just about anything to get off of jury duty. All I've got to do to get on a jury is to just keep my mouth shut.

I thought the “large amounts of cash “law passed in the 1980’s.

[Kozak]

Yeah, cause the fine for speeding is 48k

Drug warriors are directly responsible for the largest loss of liberty for Americans than just about any other group.

Amen.

I think there is something fishy about this story.

Overton says he got the money from his wife, Tiffani D.S. Barber, to buy some property in Iowa; he drove down there, the deal fell through so he was on his way home.

Now lets talk turkey here. I have done over 20 real estate transactions in my life, and none of them, not one required cash. When I want to put earnest money down, I write a check. When I need to deposit money into escrow, I write another check.

The only time I have even seen cash in a real estate transaction was when a realtor bought lunch for us.

So, tell me again why $48k in cash was necessary for a real estate deal.
